Kimpembe's 'overconfidence' likely caused mistake - PSG coach Tuchel

Presnel Kimpembe may have been guilty of 'overconfidence' with the mistake that preceded a tense finale in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-1 victory over Nantes on Tuesday, said manager Thomas Tuchel.

Mauro Icardi's first-half goal was added to by Thilo Kehrer to put PSG in control of the Ligue 1 game at La Beaujoire, on a night when the Parisians were without Neymar due to a rib injury.

However, Kimpembe's attempt to flick a pass from Marco Verratti behind his standing leg and to Kehrer ended up going straight to Moses Simon, who raced through to score with 22 minutes remaining.
